WEST LAFAYETTE -- Been hinting at this for probably a year, but the Purdue-Louisville football matchup to open the 2017 season is nearing reality.

ESPN's Brett McMurphy reported this morning that the deal is done. The game will be played Sept. 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium. It's will be the Boilermakers' second neutral site matchup in four years. Purdue and Notre Dame played in Indianapolis last season.

The Boilermakers and the Cardinals have played once - a 22-22 tie in 1987 at Ross-Ade Stadium.

Purdue also updated its 2017 schedule this morning, adding Ohio. The game is Sept. 9 at Ross-Ade Stadium, completing the 2017 schedule.

As the Big Ten moves away from FCS programs and a ninth league game is added starting in 2016, a quick glance at the Boilermakers' future nonconference opponents
